Get Ready: Hurricane Dorian

Hurricane Dorian is lashing North Carolina and southeast Virginia with torrential rain, storm surge flooding, high winds and tornadoes and is headed for a brush of southeast New England tonight before slamming into Atlantic Canada this weekend.

Dorian’s maximum sustained winds have diminished, making it a Category 1 hurricane. Regardless of the intensity change, the hurricane’s flooding impacts will likely be similar.
